10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)

Hills can really build your strength as well as improve your running form. This session is tough but will really help you make big gains. Use the downhill as a light recovery jog, so exact recovery times can be flexible.

Good challenging session, felt strong but the Cold Air did not help. Puffing after each rep.
2 days after a half marathon PB that is impressive. So really well done Mark, another good session ticked off.

If you have accurate heart rate data that is far and away the best guide for this run. Stay in Zone 2 if you can.

Replaced with additional squats 60 split into 2 sets without weight, following the list.
Good thinking about replacing those exercises. Good to hear some new machines are coming in and they are investing in the gym. Well done as always Mark. So consistent with these workouts and probably a big part of why you’ve had so few issues.

10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace

RPE: 3

WU is key. CD not as important, but if you have done a fast 10 miles it’s recommended. Also if going for a quick one including drills and strides (4 bonus pts) is worth while too.

Knowing your goal pace beforehand is important and ensuring you don’t go off too quick is crucial. Obviously that will be determined by the elevation of the route. But I’m always happy to discuss pacing strategies and race tactics beforehand.

Good Luck!! You got this ๐Ÿ’ช

Ran with Lou up the easy hill ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ at Mile 8 until the final downhill. I did not have a lot left when I crossed the finishing line.
That is a very tough route, but really well done Mark. Another strong race. 2 in 2 weeks. Loving the sparkles ๐Ÿ˜‚
